Fifteen Years of PCa Treatment Progress - and the next 15 Years

I had a random blood test last year in May. After much staring at their belly buttons, it was decided that perhaps a PSA of 26.7 merited a biopsy. That was done in October. It's been non-stop fun since. Biopsy, bone scans, CT scans, MRIs, PSMA PET scans, numerous blood scans, Brachytherapy, EBRT, ADT... The first urologist stated I had nothing to worry about after my first DRE in June. I fired him the next hour. I am ending this round of EBRT tomorrow.

I Ldo dragged my feet on the biopsy for a year. I thought a PSA flyctuating around 4 and a couple of time 3-ish did not warrant urgency. On top, the second opion in my MRI suggested pirads 2. Big mistake but hopefully not too consequential. Gleason was 4+4 in two cores and half of cores positive, mostly with 3+3.

You sound more like a veteran, so I thought you might have been in this longer.

Why did you choose RT over RPin the end? I am probBly doing RP, but I am only 52.
